Hi All,
Just to advise that FUNcube-1 AO73 has just (at approx 2157 UTC) been
commanded into continuous amateur mode. We expect to change it back to
autonomous mode on Sunday pm.
Have FUN!

Google about for "ft-736r lamp replacement" and you'll find a lot of
people showing how to replace the lamps with LEDs.

that " ... a half-duplex rig will be adequate for the Fox satellites, but a

Gawd, if I had published that, I would have crosses burning on my front lawn.

While all the rest of us were watching Venus and Jupiter this week, this
potographer had a few-seconds' window to capture the ISS against the moon:
"The ISS only passed over the moon for 0.33 seconds as it shoots by quite
quickly. Knowing the second it would pass I fired a 'burst' mode of
exposures then crossed my fingers and hoped it would show up in review --
and it did!" ...

Due to a death in the family, I am currently enroute to my parents' place

I have a (not full duplex, unfortunately) HT in my bag, and I just

The 90th meridian passes through my old childhood bedroom.
I was wondering, in case the opportunity arises, what the protocol is for
operating on a gridline, and the subsequent LOTW record keeping.

Michael,
Sorry for your loss.
If you do get on, all you need to say is something like "N1EN EM55/45
grid line." You must be right on the line, a GPS showing that you are
indeed at 90.0000 degrees West or a smartphone with a GPS app showing
that would be adequate. I suppose a satellite image of the house from
a site like ( http://no.nonsense.ee/qth/map.html ) and a picture of
you standing right at a position where the line runs through would be
adequate too in the unlikely event that the ARRL actually were to
request documentation.
LoTW supports up to four grids per QSL. When you create your station
location in tQSL, just enter "EM55,EM45" in the field for grid.

Clint and the list - Not sure how many AMSAT members in California are
members of the Klan and are also passionate enough about half-duplex to burn
crosses on your front lawn, certainly not me, but I do agree that we should
be teaching that working the FM birds in Full Duplex is preferred, not just
for the operator, but for other operators on the bird as well. We probably
shouldn?t be dogmatic about it, as that turns people off, but I think we
should encourage all FM satellite ops to work towards operating full duplex.
I suspect that the operable word in AA4KN?s article is ?adequate?. What may
be adequate for getting the 100 extra FD points, is really not suitable for
long term development of skilled satellite operators. I think the chaos one
hears on the FM birds during FD is testimony enough to the meaning of
adequate in this context.
It is easy to work most of the FM birds, so easy that it can be done with
half-duplex. Many never progress beyond that. But there are lots of
advantages to full duplex: hearing your own signal, knowing its quality,
hearing who else is on the bird, not stepping on them; learning to wait in
turn to call DX and in short, knowing when to talk and when to shut up.
Teaching full duplex is not hard; a second rig can be inexpensive these days
and loaning one to a half duplex op who wants to go full duplex is on
possibility of easing people into full duplex. When some one mentions they
are having problems working the FM satellites, I always ask if they are
working full duplex. Most of the problems that a novice has can be
identified and easily remedied by themselves if they go to full-duplex.
Another less obvious reason is that full duplex is almost mandatory on the
linear satellites, and I think we should be trying to move newcomers from
the FM birds to the linear birds. If they use Full-Duplex on the FM birds
that is one less skill they have to learn when they go to the linear birds.
The FM birds, while easy to work and loads of fun, offer only a fraction of
the capabilities of which amateur radio communications are capable.
But I suspect that I am preaching to the choir. - Duffey KK6MC

I am a bit disturbed that Dave Jordan's fine article on FOX-1A in
July's QST is being misrepresented by the quote that is purely out of
context. Anyone who read the full article can clearly see that Dave is
NOT advocating using half duplex to communicate with FOX-1A. The full
text of the excerpt reads "With a minimum power output of 400mW, Fox1A
should be easy to work with an ordinary VHF/UHF FM handheld
transceiver and a dual-band handheld Yagi antenna. Most VHF/UHF
handhelds can only communicate in "half duplex." This means they
cannot receive simultaneously while transmitting. A half-duplex rig
ill be adequate for Fox satellites, but a "full duplex" transceiver is
even better. A full duplex transceiver receives and transmits at the
same time. This allows you to monitor the quality of your signal
through the satellite so that you can make antenna and frequency
adjustments as needed."
As I read this it seems the author makes the statement as to why full
duplex is superior and preferred over half duplex. A nice teachable
moment for the newbie to understand that while FOX-1A and other FM
satellites can in fact be worked half duplex it is best understand why
full duplex is the preferred method. My first contacts were half
duplex and I quickly learned that full duplex was not only preferred
but is the acceptable way to communicate through any satellite. At the
time I got started I was influenced by an article on the web titled
"Work FM Satellites with your HT!" advocating that all I needed was a
single handheld and a tape measure antenna. I notice that the article
has been since updated to include "Ideally, we should be working the
satellites in full duplex mode, where we can simultaneously listen to
the downlink as we are transmitting." Thank you for clarifying this.
However, I am confused, especially seeing this recent criticism, that
the article just mentiend continues the previous sentence with "
Although this method is preferred, it is not mandatory:"
I commend Dave for his article and efforts to keep us all informed and
educated.
